6.6.1 Add new battery The following steps are valid for digital shunts SC303, SC302T and SC503. In the settings menu, navigate to DEVICES > BATTERIES. Select “Add new” and fill in the required data. · Name the battery/battery bank accordingly (STARTER, SERVICE, MAIN, etc.) · Select the battery type (Wet low maintenance, Wet maintenance free, AGM, Deep cycle, Gel, LiFePO4). · Fill in the battery capacity for the next C ratings: C/20, C/10, and C/5. If you don’t know all the ratings, fill in just the ratings that you know. It is highly recommended to fill at least two C ratings (one is not enough for precise calculations). A C rating is simply a battery’s capacity (or Ah/amp hour rating) when discharged over a specific period. Usually, the C rating is specified on the battery label. For correct operation, set unknown ratings as “Not set”! · Select a voltmeter connected to the battery. You can only see voltmeters that are not already used by other battery configurations.
· Select the current sensor connected to the battery. You can only select current sensors that are not already used by an existing battery configuration. For a battery configuration without a shunt, leave the current sensor empty. · Select a temperature sensor if you have one installed. · Confirm and save the battery configuration with the button. After you exit the settings menu, the new battery should be visible on one of the Caravan’s screens.
